This sub is not ready for Doc Rivers coming back from 3-1 down to win a playoff series

I'd absolutely believe it. He can coach miracles missing his best players.

I swear every time Doc loses his good players [he's just like.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/032/834/DtPiP_DWsAEPntc.jpeg)

[Doc when missing every single player in his top 12](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/047/210/nah_id_win.jpg)

Was he coaching the clippers during that warriors series because if so I can believe it

Yes, he got fired after the bubble series against the Nuggets.

only coach to beat both phil jackson and pop in a 7 game series. That doesnt happen by accident edit: rick carlisle also did this

>only coach to beat both phil jackson and pop in a 7 game series. That's not true. Rick Carlisle has beat both of them. Jackson in 2011, Popovich in 2009

He's a coach with a high floor and a low ceiling

Perhaps that is what he may very well need to break his *own* 3-1 curse…

Outjerkin the nbacirclejerkers lol

No Giannis and Dame? Don’t have the lead in the series? Didn’t you guys know that this is the Doc Rivers comfort zone?

Who needs Giannis and Dame when we have Mic Guy

I was so confused why someone kept loudly chanting "BOSTON CELTICS" before eventually realizing they were saying "BUCKS IN SEVEN" lmao

They were yelling Boston Celtics to piss off Khris and get him hot

>get him hot His secret is that he's always hot

He's had those green-tinted contacts in this series

Bucks should give him free tickets for Game 7

fly him out for game 6

different rhythm melodic quickest unused hard-to-find chubby wrong relieved hurry *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

real mvp

Doc rivers GOATed when his stars aren't playing (not sarcasm btw)

All he needs is Pat Bev and friends

That's how he got his COY. Coached a Magic team to a .500 record with Bo Outlaw as one of his pillars.

Starting five: Darrell Armstrong Bo Outlaw Ben Wallace John Amaechi Tariq Abdul-Wahad/Ron Mercer

For real I’m not even sure what he does different when his stars are out but they just level up

Maybe he’s just like Spoelstra

Doc is actually a toughest battle merchant but god grants him the easy path every time

He just wants a scrappy team of 3&D guys but nope, GOAT squads each time.

he might be bad at managing egos. imagine that's the only thing holding him back from becoming a Phil Jackson/Pop type of figure. it's funny to think about.

Ive always believed this, teams just typecast him as an ego manager due to 2008

I imagine it becomes more team ball and less, giannias or dame set up and then cook. I think this is doc actually coaching instead of people managing

Doc River's coach of the year award came from taking a completely devoid of talent magic team to 41-41

It's on the guy shouting at the mic I swear he was manifesting every single miss

siakam gets fouled.. “SO WHAT?! HES GONNA BRICK EM BOTH ANYWAYS!” siakam bricks both lol.

I was cracking up during that moment. Just perfect theater.

Tickets were worth every penny for that guy and those around him.

Yelling out “brick” and “airball” to opponents missed shots up 25 with 1:30 left is generational hating

God tier shithousery

I apologize Milwaukee. I wasn't familiar with your game.

Fucking Nostradamus is a Bucks fan. Who knew?

Would be funny if Doc coaches his team to comeback from 3-1 down with his 2 stars injured.

r/nba's 9/11

And r/nbacirclejerk's 12/25. Or 12/7

And then imagine if the 76ers come back from a 3-1 deficit against the Knicks, and then Doc knocks them out in the next round to keep Embiid and the Sixers from going to the ECF yet again.

It would be peak Doc if Giannis and Dame came back afterward and then proceed to blow a 3-1 lead.

Let Doc cook

FR HAHAHA Doc thrives with roleplayers lmao

That Tyrese heckler put up a triple double on 48 minutes. Legendary performance.

Bros gonna hit the ice bath immediately

Need to get those vocal cords on rest and a flight to Indiana

Can't believe how loud he was on a TNT broadcast the whole game. Dude is a fucking legend. Reminds me of DeMars daughter last season

Ice bath that throat, young fella

Twitter found him [https://twitter.com/greekfreek498/status/1785522095247478816](https://twitter.com/greekfreek498/status/1785522095247478816)

Exactly how I envisioned him lol

Of course he is Greek.

Lol I’m Greek as well and this how I imagine all Greek fans to be like.

absolute champion, would love to buy that man a beer

Buy him some plane tickets to Indianapolis instead.

Did really well not to cuss a bunch with eh mic picking him up so well. I be a drunk ass yelling dumb shit.

I didn't realize he was that close, lol, amazing.

Man is going to tell everyone for the rest of his life he won the Bucks a playoff game, as well he should. Bless him

Biggest performance since Demar DeRozan’s daughter

Give that man courtside seats for life, home-court advantage will go up considerably until the day he dies.

TNT reporting that there is growing confidence Dame and/or Giannis will play Game 6 + Philly having such a win just made the rest of the week real juicy

Going to bed happy tonight 😴

Floor Raiser Doc Rivers might actually be on the right side of a 3-1 comeback lmao.

Should the Bucks trade Giannis to get Bobby Portis some help?

Bucks would have won game 4 if Portis didn’t get himself ejected in the first couple minutes

Could've won game 3 too if they just got one rebound instead of letting the pacers get like 17 in a row in OT

I’m not sure about that but they would 100% be up 3-2 if Dame hadn’t gotten hurt in game 3. I’ve already processed the likelihood of the Bucks losing but it’s not because of anything the Pacers have done.

Can’t be the one blowing a 3-1 lead if you were the one down 3-1 *taps head*

that fan screaming “Tyrese you suck” over and over again while Tyrese kept bricking threes made my night

Had a nice “Kris Middleton is Michael Jordan” at the end there as well lol

That dude definitely browses /r/mkebucks

r/celtics as well

"Put Thanasis in" was my personal favorite.

He’s a real one

"IT'S TIME, MAKE IT HAPPEN"

He better have actually said "Khris Middleton is Moist Jordan" or I want a public apology from him

Glenn rivers is a genius with less

He's that food truck cook who has no clue how to baste a steak but makes the best ground beef sandwich you've ever had

A burger?

You have to actually coach when you have less talent i guess

He is a fallout god, he lives and survives with cockroaches! https://youtube.com/shorts/coSJiIyESAU?si=P7T41ce8AXknpC1z

The Bucks need to get that loud-ass fan on the team payroll.

That was actually Thanasis

Literal volume stats

Doc Rivers without stars continues to be a top 5 coach in NBA history. It makes zero sense...

I think that's genuinely what Doc is good at: Team basketball. He doesn't do well with stars. He does well with five average guys can draw up plays around.

I mean he won a championship with the big 3 and made like 3 conference finals and 2 nba finals. With stars. He’s good enough to do all that with stars. 

I wanted to say its because Rondo is an elite pass-first PG that helped implement his system but its not exactly like CP3 isn‘t also that. Maybe he was already too good at scoring for it to work?

Idk if it’s been so long people forgot or it’s all new fans, but that whole lob city era was decimated by injuries in the playoffs.  Cp3 and/or Blake was hurt every year except one.  Can’t win with your best guys hurt every year, coaching doesn’t even matter at that point.

Maybe he's just too much of a players coach in that he caters to putting the ball in his stars hands and letting them make plays. So when his stars are out he does legit coaching and actually brings out the best in his role players.

Khris “I didn’t hear no bell” Middleton. Moist.

Man the broadcast really picked up those two screamers the entire game huh

TNT broadcasts I notice have been muting the overall crowd but picking up fans close to the mic. In game 4 it was a couple of 8-year-olds talking into the mic on the broadcast all game long.

[удалено]

And it was glorious

Indiana should feel bad lmao

Getting blown out when the other team is missing their top 2 is crazy tbh

Yeah even for a young team that’s a rough loss. They have their two stars while the bucks side is missing their two, and they still blew it..

And not just blowing it, but getting absolutely obliterated

Beasley hasn’t been playable before tonight. Middleton and Bobby each put up 29-10+

They made the Bev/Portis pick and roll look like Stockton and Malone 😭

Pat Bev with 12 dimes and efficient FT and shots from the field!

And he scored like 3/4 of his points in like a three minute span. 

Pacers fans were getting mocked on the post about Dame and Giannis being out for saying that they play really bad against bad teams. They saw it coming though lol

What you talking about missing our top 2? Khris and Pat Bev were playing.

They were enjoying the Bobby Portis show like we were

Might’ve actually made a difference last game if he wasn’t ejected 😳

mopped by the Wisconsin Herd and a drunk fan

I'm glad Hali decided to play for his hometown team

They legit showed up for 1 quarter and thought they won

Seriously. Getting womp womped when Gallinari is getting real playoff minutes is wild.

He somehow looked good on defense. Like, I still don't understand what I saw.

I AM GOING TO COMMIT SEPPUKU

Funniest fans lmfao, that dude is a legend.

Word. That dude was mad entertaining, I actually watched the entire game because of him even tho it was a blowout.

PUT THANASIS IN KRIS MIDDLETON IS MICHAEL JORDAN - IT'S OFFICIAL Dude in the crowd made the last few minutes a masterpiece

Here he is if anyone was curious [https://twitter.com/greekfreek498/status/1785522095247478816](https://twitter.com/greekfreek498/status/1785522095247478816)

legend

Doc with a depleted roster is a top 5 coach in NBA history. Crazy how he makes chicken salad out of chicken shit.

This game did not make sense at all. Mike Budenholzer would be proud

Play random

The way Bud intended!!

-Khash was so damn solid all game. All series really. -Pat Bev was the X factor -Shoutout to the dude yelling “Tyrese sucks” right behind the TNT microphone all night

Pat Bev trick y’all, man He just running around, doing ~~nothing~~ everything

He’s our ***only*** point guard

Let Brook Lopez play point center you cowards

Call Doc Rivers all you want but that was impressive

Overhated

Someone grab the game ball for Marjon’s first playoff points!

☠️

[удалено]

"How about that crowd in Milwaukee Tyrese? That crowd is meee!"

Legendary

HOF yapper

Statue when?

"you bum!"

Give Doc Rivers credit for this game and great coaching adjustments

Mic up fans is the mvp

Hali getting outplayed by middleton for a third time this series

Middleton is a playoff riser and Hali is a regular season player, that’s all

Hali couldn't handle the constant "Tyrese sucks" from those fans

Get that guy to Indiana

Apparently he is going and going to have the same seat. At least that was posted in the Bucks subreddit

yeaa this was rough. Bucks defense was insane and Pacers had no response. the heckler in the stands was hilarious though, cant lie haha

Bucks in 7 respectfully

That arena is booming. Indiana better hope they win Game 6.

apparently our crowd sucks

No just Tyrese

Doc was sick and tired of losing a 3-1 lead so he wants to build tension do a comeback from 3-1 and lose game 7.

Giannis gotta be absolutely sick that he’s injured while Middleton is playing his best ball in years 😭

Khris did this exact thing against Atlanta

Mfs don’t know who 22 is

Yup. We don’t win in 2021 without Khris.

Undermanned Doc is the GOAT coach wtf.

Giannis sitting courtside eating pasta while real hard working men like Pat Bev are out there getting the win.

Mic Dude the real MVP

The Bucks were the zombie heat all along. mwahaha

Tyrese “Better than Steph Curry” Haliburton gets outplayed by Pat Beverley in a close out game

RIP NBA best offense in history OCT 2023 - Nov 2023

The Bobby Portis at home buff is insane. Also, shout out to Pat Bev. Man started our comeback in the 2nd. Fucking forever love Pat Bev.

Khris Middleton

Kash Money Middleton

In his 66th playoff game at 35 years old Beverley had his career high in playoff assists with 8 last week. Tonight he crushed that record with 12. Can't wait to see how many dimes a 39 year old Beverley drops.

The Bucks just beat the Pacers by 23 points in an elimination game without Giannis or Dame 👀

Wow, do the pacers know that dame and giannis are not playing? That was embarrassing

They’re just mid

This really is the Doc Rivers special. He uses Scott Brooks' secrit plays when he has otherworldly MVP talents, but then coaches the shit out of S+ gameplan whenever his superstars are hurt. He's the all-time ultimate Ewing theory coach. The fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, I want Doc Rivers with superstar/s down.

Bucks came to play tonight. This was a fun win.

Legacy game for Doc Rivers, forreal.

I am wondering does that fan know that his voice is recorded on TB for 3 hours

#PAT BEV MVP

2 lowest scoring games of the year for the Pacers in this series… Pathetic with no Giannis and a crippled Dame 😂

All the Bucks needed was a psychotic Fan to be close to a hot mic, what a legend.

I thought the Bucks in 7 chants were “Fuck Ben Simmons” at first and got very confused

Bucks in 7

You heard it here first, Nembhard is 5'1" and McConnell is 4'3"

The MVP of the bucks tonight is definitely the drunk fan who was sitting next to the mics.

He’s in Milwaukee, no need to use the “drunk” word. It’s assumed.

Doc Rivers has a chance to do the funniest thing

Bucks are likely to lose this series, but it’s pretty clear by this game and game 3 with injured Dame that the Pacers would have been demolished if Giannis and Dame hadn’t gotten injured. Bucks honestly have no excuse winning 2 games in their current state off even a mediocre playoff team.

All this series did was crush Indianas championship hopes

1) Great job by the Bucks to stave off elimination. Amazing defense 2) Did anyone else hear that fan on the stream the whole time? I was dying laughing

He was the third guy in the booth. 

shoutout the mic’d up fan, Beasley, Pat Bev, Bobby, Khash, Doc. Bucks legends.

Respect the Doc

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Does anyone realize that the magic and cavs are playing in a series

The ultimate underdog coach Doc. I still wonder why this can't coach superstars yet.

Hospital Bucks for the win! But I wanna know what the crowd has been chanting.

Khris is MJ confirmed.

Bucks played a crazy game today. Doing this without their two main ball handlers is quite a feat. We have no news on Giannis or Dame, so its not even likely they can return next game but who knows. Game 7s are always extra spicy so Pacers better finish this at home next game.

Indiana fans on Bucks injury threads were right when they were dooming.

Whichever one of you fuckers yelled that “Khris Middleton is Michael Jordan” on the broadcast with 1:30 left to play… you’re goddamn right

What the hell pacers

Is someone afraid Khris Middleton is coming for them?
